Closing Task:

You can classify a variety of substances as matter or not and explain why you classified them that way

Content Standards being covered:

Students can make and record measurements effectively using measuring tools and then use that data appropriately in calculations.

Students can identify types and phases of matter, physical and chemical properties of matter and various change sin matter and how those changes occur.
